From the Great Englishman.

William f. Gladstone, whose great liber-
al heart is warm towards all that is no
blest and best in this country. and whose
big brain comprehends the important part
which its people are to play in the future
history of mankind, has recently written
a letter to Mr.. Hampton S. Corson. of
Philadelphia, Secretary of the Constitu-
tional Centennial Commission which shows
that age has not chilled his blood nor inn
paired his statesmanlike insight into what
the higher interests of nations require.
Out readers will peruse it with lively in
terest:
HAwARpEN CASTLE, CHESTER, Nov 2 1887.
DEAR SIR: have just had the2honor to
receive the packet of printed documents and
records of the great centennial celebration at
Philadelphia which accompanied your letter
of Sept. 2T. 1t is not in my power to add
any new force to the previous expression OF
my regret at my inability to witness and to
participate in the joy and gratitude of the
American Nation on this occasion, SO re-
markable in the face of the whole civilized
world. Nor will now do more than assure
you that have endeavored to comprehend
your country's mission, that in every struggle
on this side of the water covet and an.
preciate its sympathy. and further, that am
profoundly impressed with the large and
growing community, not of material, but of

all the higher human interests, between the
United States and the United Kingdom.
Contemplating. as do. with great apprehen-
sion the possible future course of some Euro
pean questions, / derive a consolation, as
my life draws near to its close, from the re-
Election that no similar causes of anxiety
cloud the prospect beyond the Atlantic, and
that the relations of America to the Empire
of our Queen are likely, in the coming years,
not only to be peaceful in themselves, but
even to exercise composing and harmonic
ing influence, which cannot but be of some
value to mankind in the general politics of all
civilized communities. With many thanks
for your courtesy. remain, dear Sir.
aithfully yours. W. f. GLADSTONE.

The Republicans of Savannah, Georgia,
from which city Rev. Dir. :. W. Bacon has
just been ostracsed because he spoke well
OF Abraham Lincoln, have organized cam
paign club and invited Fred Douglass and
ex-senator Bruce to address them This
shows pluck on the part of the eolored
Republicans, and il remains to be seen if
they are to be mohbed and murdered. 1t
Is fair to say that the removal of DIR.
Bacon from his pulpit was stoutlv resisted
by wealthy and prominent men of his con-
gregation, who were with the confeder-
ates In the war of the rebellion. This
affords little hope that there may he
enough influential citizens in Savannah to
guard the Republicans from outrage and
acknowledgements, but it must be admitted
that hopes in this regard have not the
strongest basis. The spirit of the rebel
lion Is still far too dominating in Georgia,
which Southrons are proud To call the
Empire State of the South.

The effort of Balfour. Salisbury and
other Tories. aided by the back-sliding
Liberals of the Harrington type, to hold
Gladstone and his supporters responsible
for the great London riot, serves to prove
to what desperate expedients the Bourbon
English politicians are willing to attempt
In order to weaken their opponents and to
discredit the great statesman. of whose
genius, patriotism and unsullied honor
every true Englishman should be proud.
Nothing better illustrates the rising tide
of Home Rule opinions in the British Isles,
which are being rapidly advanced by
Gladstone's eloquent appeals to English
justice and sense of fair play in behalf of
the long oppressed Irish people, than these
interruptions assaults of the Tory orators
and newspapers on all the conspicuous
leaders OF Irish emancipation and pieaders
for the equality of Irishmen, Englishmeu
and Scotchmen before British law. 1t il
the old story despotism and Tory of part
san history repeated.
